Epipleoneura janirae Machado 2005: 47–48, Figs. 1–2(new species, male and female description, illustrations of male S 10 inlateral and posterior view and female prothorax in dorsal view, typematerial at ABMM). Garrison et al.2010: 352, 354 (included in list of species, illustrations of epiproct in posterior view). Pessacq et al.2012: 4(included in list of Brazilian Protoneuridae). Specimens examined. 2 ♂, 1 ♀. Holotypemale, Brazil, Pará State, Santarém, Belterra (Porto Novo) (Santarém: 03º08’41”S, 55º02’42”W), leg. A.B.M. Machado & P. Pereira, ii 1957. Allotype♀ and 1 paratype♂, same data as holotype. ABMM.
Diagnosis.Male cercus resembles that of E. capilliformis. The cercus has a well-developed inner-basal tooth. The epiproct consists of two long narrow branches, tapering toward apex and fused along almost their entire length with only their tips free, thus resembling that of E. uncinata De Marmels, 1989, but in E. janiraethere is a triangular swollen structure between branches base and the apex is comparatively thicker. Epipleoneura janiraefurther differs from that species by the different genital ligula morphology ( Fig. 37); E. janiraeis similar to that described for E. humeralis. Female posterior margin of pronotum ( Fig. 65) is composed of a wide erected lobe with a medial very shallow V depression.
Distribution.Pará State, northern Brazil( typelocality Santarém, Belterra [ 02 º 38’14” S, 54 º 09’96” W]).
